Report written by Sarah
3 strong GoodGymmers arrived at Holly Trinity Foodbank, with a que of people waiting for opening time. Their fellow volunteer showed us the ropes and we quickly got our act together as a team to serve people in need of essential foods.
35 people and their familes in Leicester cith centre will have their essential food supplies tonight, many asked for baby products too, that were in short supply.
Mel pointed out how we have seen the whole process now from the donations collected at Watermead parkrun she carried to Asda, collected by Trussel Trust South Wigston to be sorted into crates for singles and families, even microwave and kettle crates for people without ovens.
It is truely heart warming the service foodbanks give to members of our community in greatest need. The HTL foodbank are in desparate need of volunteers, which we were honoured to help them with, especially when their well loved volunteer who is there every week needs a hand time off, the crates are heavy for one person, feel like my strength work out is complete for today.
